According to witnesses, the motorcycle was carrying four people at the time of the crash. The rider died on the spot, while another male passenger succumbed to injuries while receiving treatment at Kithyoko Health Facility.
Two female passengers sustained multiple injuries and were later transferred to Mwingi Hospital for specialised treatment and further management.
